Conclusion The results show that ZANU PF has retained the seats that were made vacant by the death of the councilors and in addition, they have also managed to acquire the Harare municipality ward 12 seat that had been won by MDC T. ZANU PF has made inroads in places which were formerly MDC T strongholds. Having observed these by-elections, we urge ZEC to seriously consider addressing the problems in the elections of Zimbabwe such as the voters ‘roll, voter registration, voter apathy that continue to recur. Furthermore the network urges ZEC to implement the recommendations made by a number of observer missions in the July 2013 elections in order to improve the conduct of future elections. 7|Page
